Synthesis of the pyrrolidinone core of KSM-2690 B.

[reaction: see text] The first synthesis of the pyrrolidinone core of the polyene beta-lactone antibiotic KSM-2690 B is described. An ammonia-free Birch reductive aldol reaction utilizing acetaldehyde is one of the key steps, together with a ruthenium-catalyzed alkene isomerization reaction.
